Today we celebrated our babies FIRST birthday!! I know with every birthday I say the same thing…I can’t believe it has been another year, but really! This one flew by!! I don’t know if it’s the whole three kids thing and not having a moment to actually sit down, but it has been quite a ride. This party was to celebrate our sweet Gavin AND to celebrate the fact that we survived a crazy year with THREE kids under the age of FOUR!! WOW! This is the last first birthday I will throw so I had to do it in style. I love the movie Up and thought it would be such a fun party theme. Since we have mostly older party guests {meaning, five and under} I knew I would need a fun activity to keep the kids entertained. We hired a train to come to our house and take the kids on rides up and down the street. They LOVED it!! Gavin wasn’t a fan of having his own smash cake and cried when daddy used his hand to smash it. Too much pressure I guess with everyone watching him. We had a great day celebrating our littlest love bug!

I am a California girl who fell for an Oregon boy and we live in the great state of Texas with our two boxers, honey and riley and our adorable sweet boys, Cole and Blake. We are just an ordinary family with some extraordinary adventures! Please join us on our journey as we navigate through life together.
Cole is our oldest baby boy born on August 1, 2007. He is a bright and energetic little 5year old. Cole was born with the most common form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia. Please start with "our story" for some background details. The most important thing to know about our sweet Cole is that he is just like everyone else...just shorter.
Our sweet Blakey boo was born on June 15, 2010 and has been such a joy in our lives. He is such a stink and likes to get into all the things he shouldn't. He is a kid on a mission and loves to do anything his big brother is doing.

Our last born little guy is Gavin! He is the baby of the family and we all love him so much! He's constantly on the move, but loves to take the time to snuggle. He's very curious and gets right in to the mix with his older brothers!
